ASSESMENTS: AN UPDATE

Timing is pertinent; current technology needs being
identified, mobilization of support and networks
Need to be part of development planning process to
ensure implementation; requires broader scope
Need to be ‘tailored’ eg specific to sectors, regions
Need outcomes based solutions
Need to find financial incentives and funding for the
‘package’; not a piecemeal approach

Scenarios
STEP 3
 Identify Strategic Options Leading to Low-Emission

STEP 4
 Identify Policies and Financing Options to Implement

Linkages with NCs, NAPAs, adaptation/mitigation
efforts, sectoral and national development plans,
MDGs – therefore a process
Require a national consultation process
A step-wise approach, part of other tools and
approaches, not a stand alone
Needs external support (finance, technical
expertise)
Outputs not comparable, unique national
context
Mitigation focus

Action items
To Consider regarding the Technology Mechanism ..
Lessons regarding Technology Information provision
 Absorptive capacity at the country and local level
 Translation of results into actions
 Including Adaptation as a priority
Lessons regarding Technology development and innovation
 Capturing small scale innovations (e.g. at manufacturing level) versus large
scale transformation
Possible Linkages
 Linkages to national processes eg energy planning, access
 Establishing links and consistency between tools, methodologies and training,
role for the network? Donors?
 Linking to private sector
 Linking to financial models, opportunities and Green Fund
And MRV
 Measuring outcomes (GHG and non GHG specific), not inputs
 Reporting at the international level; which information? For what purpose?
